Synnervation - 16 Ways - Dylan Newcomb

The work of Dr. Don Beck and Ken Wilber has been a source of inspiration for the latest developments in Dylan's research. This resulted in an interactive dance production called "This" which is based on Spiral Dynamics integral. The world premier of "This" in The Hague was attended by Dr. Don Beck, founder of the global organisation called " Center for Human Emergence".

CHE School of Synnervation and CHE Synnervate can offer "This" as a kick off in change processes and leadership development programs.

In his research Dylan integrates ancient knowledge from the ‘I Ching' and ‘Ayurveda' with modern philosophies as the Integral theory and Spiral Dynamics. Over the years Dylan has worked with more than 100 people, dancers and participants at workshops, to experiment with movement, sound and chi energy. I am honored to have been part of his research as have Peter Merry, Auke van Nimwegen and few others from CHE-NL.

Integrating Eastern and Western knowledge Dylan has found remarkable parallels and developed a movement practice called "The 16 ways". The 16 Ways is a simple body-mind practice, which powerfully interweaves eastern Yin/Yang movement principles with key understandings from western ‘integral' models of psycho/socio/spiritual development. The movie here explains what the 16 ways are and how is emerged.

With his organization called "Manybody" Dylan is now developing different programs that support vitality and movement practice. The 16 ways has been presented at conferences in the US, Asia and Europe. Dylan and Kyung Sun are now touring through the US with a series of workshops. You can find more information about the international scheduling of workshops on Dylan's website.

CHE School of Synnervation supports the research Dylan is performing and participates in its further development. The 16 ways is becoming part of an integral life practice for Synnervators. With Dylan we are developing a practice for synnervators that integrates the movements of the 16 ways with concepts of Spiral Dynmics and the actual work in projects. Our flow in projects from seed to maturity is connected with the 16 ways and we are now experimenting how doing the actual movements can bring clarification in projects.

CHE School of Synnervation also offers workshops in the Netherlands. Besides the 16 ways workshop School of Synnervation offers a workshop called "The 16 ways and the spiral of life". Dylan Newcomb and Peter Merry take you through an experience of the spiral using the 16 ways to enlarge your consciousness on your personal strengths and development. The worskshops in the Netherlands are planned for July 13 - 14 and September 28 - 29. You can learn more about the scheduling of these workshops on the CHE School of Synnervation website.

The 16 ways and the work of Dylan are only in its early childhood stage. You can learn more about the basic principles of the 16 ways by watching the video's, by ordering the 16 ways DVD or by attending a workshop.

I am convinced that we will learn much more from the next steps and actions taken in the research. And I strongly believe in it's significance for the development of evolutionairy consciousness as it arises as us.
